Otras pruebas de certificación

Una estudiante de Avanzado 2 nos han enviado información que puede ser de vuestro interés, sobre pruebas de certificación fuera de EOI. La hemos publicado en la sección “Pruebas” de la web de Inglés de la EOI Getafe, vínculo directo: aquí.

Our YouTube Channel

Dear students,

We have created a YouTube Channel so that we can upload videos we record! This is specially dedicated to Avanzado 2 students, for they have been studying a C1 course for two years and can only get a B2 certificate, so we have thought it would be good to leave some evidence of the level they actually achieved. So, if you are an (ex) Avanzado 2 student, and you wish to record a monologue or a dialogue with a classmate, please get in touch with your teacher.

Whatever your level is, for next year, you will be able to get in touch with your teacher, so we can arrange a plan.

Have a lovely summer!

Talking about the Avanzado 2 Test this year — the first test in our History

Talk about any of its 4 parts: Listening comprehension, Reading Comprehension, Writing and Speaking.
What was each part like? Hard, easy, OK?
What was each part of each part like? Any favorites? Any to hate forever? Anything interesting?
What would you change or add or eliminate?

Test & Course
Did your actual courses at EOI (state-run language schools) have anything to do with the exercises in this Av2 test?
Could you apply anything you did in class, any skill you used in your course, to this test?
Could you apply anything you do in your life, any skill you use in your daily life, to this test?

Comparing Exams
Did you ever take the Ciclo Elemental test? Was this one similar?
Did you ever take the Ciclo Superior tests? Same as above.
Are you planning to take a C1 test in some pay place considering EOIs have been denied the right to teach and certify advanced levels?

For Explorers
Would you be able to design tests like that?
